Love-A-Thon, Set To Take Place On Inauguration Day, Will Become The First Ever Facebook Live Telethon

Funds raised will benefit the ACLU, Planned Parenthood, and Earthjustice

Press Release – January 9, 2017 — (New York, NY) On January 20th, Inauguration Day, a group entrepreneurs will air and host the first ever Facebook Live tel-a-thon in support of the ACLU, Planned Parenthood, and Earthjustice. The event, called Love-a-thon, is inspired by the Jerry Lewis style tel-a-thons of the past and is meant to be a kind of counter programming to the events of the day. During the Love-a-thon and in the days following, funds will be donated to each organization via Crowdrise, the top platform for internet fundraising.

Hosted on Facebook Live from 12:30pm ET – 3:30pm ET on January 20th, the event will feature artists such as Judd Apatow, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Jane Fonda, Ilana Glazer, and Edward James Olmos among others. These artists are based in Los Angeles, New York and all over the country and will be sharing stories of these organizations protecting civil liberties in the past—and demonstrating how they will continue to do so going forward.

“The ACLU is honored to be part of the Inauguration Day Love-a-thon on Facebook Live. This innovative and important event will bolster our ability, and those of the other participating organizations, to fight for what’s right in the years to come.“ Hector O. Villagra, Executive Director, ACLU of Southern California.

“Each of these organizations helps our most marginalized communities and protects our democratic norms and civil liberties every day through their work. Over the next four years, they will also each face significant challenges to their existence. The Love-a-thon efforts will bring many people together to help in those fights. “ said Alex Godin, Love-a-thon Co-organizer.

“In our 45 years of fighting legal battles, we have never backed down, and we don’t plan to do so now. Earthjustice will work overtime in the courts to hold President Trump and his administration accountable and counter the influence of polluting industries.” said Earthjustice President Trip Van Noppen
